Navigating Parenthood as a Rare Mom – Expert Insights into Special Needs Financial Planning with Mary McDirmid from Special Abilities Network

ONCE UPON A GENE - EPISODE 199 Navigating as a Rare Mom - Expert Insights into Special Needs Financial Planning with Mary McDirmid from Special Abilities Network Mary McDirmid is a rare mom and Chief Inclusion Officer at Special Abilities Network. She has a passion for advocating for families like ours— families with children who have disabilities and rare diseases. She's here to talk us through the uncomfortable topic of financial and future planning for our rare families.  EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS How do parents approach planning for their children's future when things feel so uncertain? If you don't have the capacity to think about it, the first thing to do is to figure out what you can do to create space and capacity. Triage anything that's causing a lot of stress so you can move from caregiver mode to parent mode.  What's the importance of planning when you have a child with disabilities or rare disease? The importance is that if a child is on any type of state or federal benefit, we want to ensure they keep those benefits. When they turn 18, they're legally an adult and they can only have a certain amount of assets in their name. There's only a couple places we can put money to help them save and not have funds count against their asset limits. It's important to also be able to supplement financial care when you're no longer around. The importance is keeping your child benefit-eligible and to ensure your child is cared for.  What is your advice for parents who don't have the financial resources to save for their child's future? Apply for state benefits and leverage those resources to find funds. Think about other resources such as family members who can contribute. Examine how your family is spending money  and reflect on your personal spending habits to see if there's somewhere to save.   How can families advocate for change around policy and providing better care for our kids? If you're up for the fight, you have the time, and you have the capacity, think about what you want to achieve, be clear in your ask and be prepared to follow up. If you're considering taking something on, ask yourself if the project benefits from your special skill or expertise, if it serves the community you represent, and what / who you want to be held accountable to.  LINKS & RESOURCES MENTIONED Dante Labs https://us.dantelabs.com/ Special Abilities Network https://specialabilitiesnetwork.com/ TSC Alliance https://www.tscalliance.org/ State Disability Resource Guides https://truenorthdisabilityplanning.com/idd-roadmaps TUNE INTO THE ONCE UPON A GENE PODCAST Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/5Htr9lt5vXGG3ac6enxLQ7 Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/once-upon-a-gene/id1485249347 Stitcher https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/once-upon-a-gene Overcast https://overcast.fm/itunes1485249347/once-upon-a-gene CONNECT WITH EFFIE PARKS Website https://effieparks.com/ Twitter https://twitter.com/OnceUponAGene Instagram https://www.instagram.com/onceuponagene.podcast/?hl=en Built Ford Tough Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/1877643259173346/ Interested in advertising on Once Upon a Gene?

Sydney & Brett Stelmaszek, SRF volunteers, share their journey with their 3 sons to find the best care for Emmitt, diagnosed w/ SYNGAP1 in 2019.

Sydney & Brett Stelmaszek are heavily involved in the SRF community. Sydney is on the BOD, is a patient advocate, and coordinates our connection with Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP). Brett is the driving force behind Cannonball for the Cure (CFTC), an annual fundraiser where SYNGAP1 parents drive cross country live-streaming the entire journey to raise awareness of SYNGAP1. This episode touches on their involvement with SRF as well as raising their son Emmitt, diagnosed with SYNGAP1 while living in South Africa. Their story of excessive seizures, aggression, hope, and love while caring for Emmitt and his two brothers is at times heart-breaking, but always heartwarming.

Our journey in the rare disease world started about 18 years ago with the birth of our third daughter, Valerie Marie. At three months old, she started having seizures and she was quickly diagnosed with RING14 Chromosome. We had the opportunity to attend an international family conference and it set us on a path to what it was like to be part of the rare disease community. I was inspired by the research and the idea that I could contribute to the community.  Can you tell us about Valerie Marie and why you're so intentional about differentiating between Valerie and Marie separately? My daughter's full name is Valerie Marie. My family refers to my daughter as Marie. Doctors always referred to her as Valerie. In time, it personified different aspects of my daughter where Marie was my daughter and her personality, her likes and dislikes. Valerie took on the more clinical presentation of her symptoms. If someone called my daughter Valerie, I knew they knew her in a medical sense and I had to create value around her by informing them who she was as a person.  What is your advice for families who want to share their stories effectively with a balance of objectivity and emotion? Whether it's at an IEP meeting at your child's school, a fundraising talk, or a speech at a large conference, it's best to start in the emotional realm with a hook that draws people in. Start with a personal story that invites the audience into your world in a personal way. Transition into a more scripted conversation guided by organized thoughts, clear ideas and a clear ask. It helps to have a clear outline in advance and know what you want out of it.  Can you share why you donated Valerie's brain to research and what the potential impact is on the rare disease community? At a research workshop, several experts emphasized the importance of brain donation in the event of a tragedy. There are so many critical questions with RING Chromosomes that might be answered from Valerie's brain donation. As a leader of the foundation with a heart for research, we chose to honor her life and continue her legacy in a way that could impact the community and inform research strategies.  LINKS & RESOURCES MENTIONED Dante Labs https://us.dantelabs.com/ RING14 USA https://ring14usa.com/ TUNE INTO THE ONCE UPON A GENE PODCAST Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/5Htr9lt5vXGG3ac6enxLQ7 Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/once-upon-a-gene/id1485249347 Stitcher https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/once-upon-a-gene Overcast https://overcast.fm/itunes1485249347/once-upon-a-gene CONNECT WITH EFFIE PARKS Website https://effieparks.com/ Twitter https://twitter.com/OnceUponAGene Instagram https://www.instagram.com/onceuponagene.podcast/?hl=en Built Ford Tough Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/1877643259173346/ Interested in advertising on Once Upon a Gene?

Rare Disease Dad Chronicles – From Stay-At-Home Fatherhood to My Mejo Co-Founder A Journey Through Costello Syndrome and Parenthood Challenges with Dadvocate – Ryan Sheedy

ONCE UPON A GENE - EPISODE 197 Rare Disease Dad Chronicles - From Stay-At-Home Fatherhood to My Mejo Co-Founder A Journey Through Costello Syndrome and Parenthood Challenges with Dadvocate - Ryan Sheedy Ryan Sheedy is a dadvocate and the Co-Founder of My Mejo. He shares his journey of courage and determination to provide a service for the rare disease community through My Mejo and of being a rare dad.  EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS Can you tell us about your journey as a rare disease dad? My wife and I found out unexpectedly that we were having twins and that has been the theme of our journey-- you can think and prepare for what will happen and then throw it out the window because you're not in control. Reynolds and Campbell are five and a half years old. We weren't aware of complications with the twins, my wife had a scheduled c-section and we were excited to meet our babies. When they were born, it wasn't the joyous moment we imagined experiencing because both babies immediately experienced complications. That began our journey of a lot of unanswered questions, research, praying, hoping and tests.  What was the motivation for starting the My Mejo platform? During the time in the NICU and trying to keep all the information organized and detailing it for sharing, I drafted the idea to solve the problem of remembering everything and connecting the dots. I created a one pager of all Reynolds' key information and I'd provide it to all new providers and therapists. Reynolds was the inspiration for the platform, but I'm inspired daily by the people I get to meet because of the platform. We launched in June 2022 and today we have 1,400 users using the platform across the country.  How does the My Mejo platform work? My Mejo allows you to collect and consolidate all the information you may need into one place and allows caregivers to provide all the information relating to a child to healthcare professionals or other caretakers. We have a section called Getting to Know Me where parents can note personal details that humanize medical encounters. We work on simplicity everyday- on keeping the platform super simple and very useful. Instead of information being scattered across different places, My Mejo allows you to organize information in a format that is easy on the eye in a version that can be downloaded into a .pdf file, journal, playbook or through text or email with controllable access rights. I should also mention that the platform is completely free for families to use.

Mike Graglia, SRF Managing Dir. & SYNGAP1 Dad to Tony. Going back to school can be difficult. Tony’s experience shows that it’s so much harder for kids with SYNGAP1!

Show Notes Going back to school is difficult for most kids and their families, but for those living with SYNGAP1 and other rare diseases, it is especially hard! Mike Graglia, SRF Co-Founder & Managing Director and Dad to Syngapian Tony, joins Ashley again to talk about a crisis his family experienced on Tony's first day at a new school. It's easy to talk about the joy we experience with our special kids, but it can be gut-wrenching to discuss (and hear about) the hard days. That makes it so important to share these stories - to make sure our community and those around us can prepare for these possibilities to the best of our abilities. Please, if you have a story to share, email us at [email protected]. Thank you for listening!
